A. Structural Design Criteria
i. Overview 
The design parameters that are to be used on various calcula ons for the project will be based on this part. This sec on is
divided into four parts. Part 1 presents the code of prac ce and standards that serve as basis for the system design, etc. Part 2
presents the serviceability requirements, Part 3 presents the principal loads and the load combina ons and Part 4 presents the
computer so ware that are to be u lized on the analysis and engineering notes that are to be considered on the calcula on. All
parameters are substan ated by industry wide prac ces, relevant codes and standards, technical ar cles.

ii. Contents
